Default hello

I had an experience book hotels in Siem Reap this: if you go during peak season (low season) from April (except the last week in April as customers VN nhé to pull a large holiday) to May 10, not need to book rooms in advance. You just need to search online, guide book ... Some hotels to meet your requirements (budget, location ...) and when to Siem Reap will decide where after viewing the room, thus avoiding the book room is not satisfactory. If you are smart you will have to negotiate good prices too. Twice I have found this through the hotel like that.
